ROMER Absolute Arm with HP-L-20.8 Laser Scanner
Hendrick Motorsports selected the predecessor to the HP-L-20.8 as the scanner of choice due to the flying-dot technology, and upgraded with the launch of the HP-L-20.8 scanner as the wider scan line allowed them to reduce scanning time by more than 50%.
The ability to select line width to be as wide as 220 mm (8.6 in) for large areas and as narrow as 25 mm (1.0 in) for fine detail scanning allows the best of both worlds in one scanning device.
